Board Member Spotlight
(original article in the United Way of NW LA Newsletter)
Q–How did you come to be involved with the
United Way?
A–I have been involved as a UnitedWay supporter
my entire professional life. I contributed to the
UW when I first entered the work force and was
involved in numerous workplace campaigns,
including leading the one at Regions Bank
shortly after I moved back to Shreveport. I was
voted onto our board two years ago in part from
getting to know our CEO, Bruce Willson, as we are
both Rotarians.
Q–If you could tell someone who doesn’t know
about the United Way one thing about our
organization, what would it be?
A–The one thing I think is most important about
what we do is how we provide funds to
organizations that are doing great work with a
low profile. We have some tremendous service-
minded people in our area who are addressing
needs, but are doing so with limited resources. By
partnering with these smaller nonprofits we help
provide stability and allow them the opportunity
to expand the scope of their work.
Q–If you could change one thing in this
community, what would it be?
A–Raise our community self-esteem. I often
hear things about Shreveport-Bossier that
are negative, but for me I feel it is a region
with amazing qualities. Faithful and generous
people live and work here. It’s a family-friendly
community with a kind soul and bountiful spirit.
We have great economic promise here, but I think
we are too humble about letting the world know
about those opportunities. We need to brag a little
more, thump our chest a little more. We have great
transportation infrastructure, low cost real estate,
higher education, superb health care, and plenty of
recreational opportunities. If we can truly get our
act together, the possibilities are endless.
